Bath Resealing in Waterhead
Our repair technicians come to Waterhead for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- A messy previous reseal
Bath resealing in Waterhead without replacing anything
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and water getting behind the bath or tray, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Signs you need bath resealing in Waterhead
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Unsealed corners
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

FAQs for Waterhead
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do you work in Waterhead?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Waterhead for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are there extra charges for Waterhead?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How long does resealing take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
